Sahir Salman Abu Namouse

July 24, 2014

“Wake up my son! I bought toys for you, please wake up!” These were the heart-wrenching pleas of Salman Abu Namous, who was begging his four-year-old son Sahir to come back to life. Sahir was killed on Friday by shrapnel from a missile launched by Israel. His cousin described his killing: “He was playing and smiling next to his mother when missile shrapnel divided his head.”
